Massage Envy Spa DFW and the Arthritis Foundation have once again joined forces to host Healing Hands for Arthritis, a one-day national event to build awareness and raise funds to fight arthritis. On September 16, 2015, Massage Envy Spa will sponsor this in-clinic event across the nation to raise money and awareness about the devastating effects of arthritis on the body and how massage therapy can help relieve and control certain symptoms.
The best part is that $10 from every 1-hour massage or facial and 10% of select retail products sold on that day goes to the Arthritis Foundation. Additional donations can be made before, during or after the event at any Massage Envy location.
♦ Massage therapy plays a vital role in the health and well-being of many people who live with arthritis. That’s why the partnership between Massage Envy Spa and the Arthritis Foundation is a natural fit. There is a mutual understanding about the devastating effects of arthritis, both physically and mentally.
♦ Massage Envy and the Arthritis Foundation are working together year-round to raise awareness and funds to conquer the nation’s #1 cause of disability.
♦ Since 2011, Massage Envy has raised over $3 million for the Arthritis Foundation through HHFA. With your help, we can raise more than $1 million this year.
♦ Arthritis impacts people of every age. Two-thirds of people with arthritis are under age 65, including 300,000 children.
♦ Arthritis is the nation’s leading cause of disability, costing more than $156 billion annually in lost wages and medical expenses – and the loss of 172 million work days.
♦ Unless we stop arthritis, an estimated 67 million Americans – one in four – will be diagnosed with arthritis by the year 2030.

My grandma suffered, but never complained!
My MIL has RA and it has slowed her down quite a bit. She used to quilt and now doesn’t have the strength in her fingers to finish a project.
I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis at age 36. I would love a massage to relieve my joints and aches. Thanks!
My brothers and sisters suffer from this degenerative disease with
osteoarthritis and rheumatoid. Thank you Massage Envy for donating
to the Healing Hands event!
I inherited arthritis and suffer daily. Without my medication I would scarcely be able to get out of bed. I still work so I have to keep going in spite of my pain.
My grandmother has arthritis pretty bad. I know she struggles with it daily – but she’s learning how to make it through the day OK and still do all her vegetable gardening!
